As you may have noticed, two AEDs, automated external defibrillators, have been installed in the church and in the parish hall. An AED is a portable device that checks the heart rhythm and can send an electric shock to the heart to restore a normal rhythm. AEDs are used to treat sudden cardiac arrest. A training has been arranged for any parishioner who would like to learn how to use the device. A Fire Department representative will conduct the 30 minute training. The rescheduled training will be: Thursday, June 7, at 5:30 p.m. We strongly encourage all parish staff and ministry volunteers to attend the training.
